The weather this weekend has been pretty nice here in Colorado. This weekend I just enjoyed being with my family. Saturday I went past any excuses I had keeping me from working out and went for it! I missed my work out on Friday, so I made it up by running a mile, and doing my firm express video. The firm express system is great; it comes with 13 DVDs and has 4 cycles. (Cycle 1- ignite, Cycle 2-accelerate, Cycle 3-turbocharge, and Cycle4-overdrive) I purchased this set on amazon.com. It also comes with a bonus video which is 10 minutes. I completed the 30 days of this system, and now I’ve been adding it in with my regular workout schedule. What do you do to keep motivated? I find that there are times that I am just so tired, but I try and push through.

    I always have my gym back packed and ready to go and in my car or sitting on my bed. That way it stares me right in the face. That way I can't talk myself out of it. If I can't or won't make it to the gym I take something away from myself LOL.

    Dina, ohhhh I like that! Maybe I should do that. Having something right in front of you can seriously bring on motivation. I may have to try this. I struggle at times and come up with all sorts of excuses then feel bad about it afterwards.

    Thats my biggest motivator since I can't run in my neighborhood. If that doesn't work I akways find that doibf the work out first thing in the day helps. Or scedhuling your work outs.
